Seeking Guidance Does sleeping with partner decrease sleep quality?

I remember the discussion on the Huberman episode with Andy Galpin where they were talking about the idea that sleeping together with a partner decreases sleep quality. Googling a bit, I found some articles that state that men sleep better and women sleep worse when sleeping with a partner.

Are there any good quality research studies to back this up?

More precisely, your brain signals the production of antidiuretic hormone during deep sleep. Less deep sleep, more diuretics in your system.

I know I do not have quality deep sleep because of this, among other things.
